    looking to buy a great tonneau cover for my 2015 double cab short box. Been told that the lo-pro is the best for the money. Thanks for the information.

    Whatever cover you decide to get, the cheapest one is the best one imho, do not use Armor All or any other cleaners or protectants that have "petroleum distillates" in the product.
    The petroleum distillates are listed in the owners manual of soft tops as not to be used. What happens is those products will eat through he threads holding your soft top together. Not too big a deal if your tonneau has snaps but most use Velcro these days.

    As a side note, prefer the soft tops because they roll up almost completely out of the way when needed. Although I would like to have the funds to buy a nice retractable tonneau. Good luck with your purchase mate.

    Like everything else, it depends on what your needs/wants are. If your looking for a roll up, I would recommend Access Lorado any day. I've had it on my truck for 11 years now, and it still looks almost new.

    My requirements were: Low profile, rolls up out of the way when I don't need it, looks good, and relatively inexpensive. I'm able to have a dirt bike in the back with this cover rolled up.

    This is the place I bought from:

    It was the cheapest place, and the guy's customer service is excellent.

    Guess it depends on what you want. Probably not one "best" but one best for you. I only know my undercover hard tonneau because it was on the truck when I bought it. Works well for me, super sturdy(I beat it), seems more secure than a soft tonneau and after a little bit I've figured out a fairly easy way to put it on and off by myself. Downside for me is that it takes up a lot of space to store when not in use.

    On the "budget" end, but, good quality - Tonno-Pro and similar. Soft tri fold design gives partial or full bed access and easy removal and storage.
    Not water proof, but seals very well. Had mine for 2+ years and still going strong.

    +1...very lightweight and durable. It takes about three minutes to put on or take off. Under $300

    Access tonneau covers are really high quality and they aren't that expensive.
